Installation Overview
Installing the Quarter Round Edge Profile (Ultracompact (Dekton/Neolith)) - 3cm edge profile requires careful preparation of the substrate edge before applying the profile. Begin by ensuring the countertop slab is cut to final dimensions with clean, squared edges. For marble substrates, use a diamond blade at reduced feed rates to prevent chipping. The edge profile should be roughed using a CNC router with the DXF template loaded as the toolpath guide. Start with a roughing pass at 60-70% depth using a coarse diamond bit, then follow with a finishing pass at full depth using a fine-grit profile wheel. Allow adequate water flow during cutting to prevent thermal stress fractures. After CNC shaping, hand-finish using progressive diamond polishing pads from 50 grit through 3000 grit. For the quarter profile specifically, pay attention to the transition zones where curves meet flat surfaces. Apply a stone sealer appropriate for marble once the edge is fully polished. Final inspection should verify the profile matches the DXF geometry within 1/32" tolerance.
CNC Cutting Notes
For the Quarter Round Edge Profile (Ultracompact (Dekton/Neolith)) - 3cm profile, set your CNC router spindle speed between 5000-7000 RPM for marble substrates. Use a feed rate of 40-60 IPM for roughing passes and reduce to 20-30 IPM for finishing passes. Select a diamond-tipped profile bit matching the template radius specifications. Program the toolpath using climb milling for cleaner cuts on the quarter geometry. Maintain coolant flow at 2+ GPM to prevent thermal fracturing. For harder stones like granite, reduce feed rates by 20% and increase water flow. Run a test cut on scrap material to verify the profile matches the DXF template before committing to production stock.
Material Compatibility
The Quarter Round Edge Profile (Ultracompact (Dekton/Neolith)) - 3cm template works exceptionally well with natural granite, providing clean edges that polish to a high gloss. Marble is also compatible, though the softer stone requires reduced feed rates during CNC operations to prevent micro-chipping. Quartzite offers excellent results with this profile, as the hard mineral structure holds fine details well. Engineered quartz composites are ideal substrates, offering consistent material properties that produce predictable results. Soapstone and slate can be profiled using this template with appropriate tooling adjustments. For limestone, use conservative CNC parameters due to the stone's tendency to chip on detailed profiles. Porcelain sintered stone panels require specialized diamond tooling but produce excellent results with the quarter geometry.
